Pitching to Matt and Luke

We pitched our initial to Matt and Luke adapted with Mike criticisms and they didn’t appreciated as much, as we had lots of negative feedbacks.

The story was considered to simple, but too complicated to film, as we wanted to do it in a maze. They didn’t like the idea of filming a scene with the mirror, as it would be too complicated for inexperienced students working with professional cameras for the first time to realise. They dislike the lantern idea to show even more the dream feeling as it does not look realistic, the audience won’t know watching the opening scene that we are talking about at dream as we didn’t what to show her waking up.

Overall they saw our idea as a horror so the advise us to restart and coming up with something much simpler and more realist to the Hurtwood standard, as our first film I believe we were aiming to high.

It was hard for something and us to leave the maze idea and think completely new that will still be innovative and creative and we obviously we disappointed for all the work we put into this idea to make it work and end up with a failure.

For this pitch we prepared our self as group creating a power point including a mood board, possible casting and we looked in detailed at the location so we called them and got all the contacts and we came up with a backup idea in case of future problems or incomes (taking out an element and the story will still work, for example taking out the maze).

We also thought about costumes and we did research for a mirror so that we were aware to pitch them and resolve any problems they could think off.

Next we will discuss as a group about potential new ideas and we will watch few trailer of famous classic thriller to get inspired by them and get a clear base for a thriller. Then we are going to look at the news to be updated of what is happening around us nowadays and be creative being inspired by some of the tragedies or stories and hopefully we will come up with a new effective idea that Matt and Luke would like, to develop further more in details for out final thriller media film.
